INTRO INTO 'CREATIVE PRACTICE'

In this study, Creative Practice is viewed as a continuous (iterative) process essential to the conceptualization, development, and creation of artworks. It consists of four components rooted in art practice, as well as experiential, inquiry, and project-based learning.

These components are:

Research and exploration
Experimentation and development
Refinement and resolution
Reflection and evaluation.

These components are interconnected and cyclical, without a fixed sequence that prioritizes one over the others. Students can begin with any component and engage with a combination of them in a fluid, creative process.

This study aims to help students:

Understand how artists and artworks reflect the values, beliefs, and traditions of various cultures.
Analyze, interpret, and respond to artworks and ideas, using Interpretive Lenses for support.
Critically evaluate ideas explored by historical and contemporary artists from diverse cultures.
Develop personal expression and ideas through art-making and responding
Enhance practical skills and conceptual understanding to inform their aesthetic awareness and art practice.
Cultivate creative and critical thinking in their individual responses to artworks and art practice.
